Top Notch

During the duration of my divorce I struggled with the sadness of it as well as feelings of being so alone. While my ex had already moved on...I was still trying to process it all...how do I go from here...how do I make ends meet....my only identity was wrapped around my husband...how do I start ove...r? I felt so completely alone with two kids and a house to worry about. Needless to say I felt overwhelmed by the divorce process and the decisions that needed to be made. Oona has the ability to take the entire picture and break it out into what is important and not important. She can simplify the decisions based on what needed to be addressed at that time and what could wait or what didn't need to be addressed at all. Although she is sympathatic to your situation, she has the ability to keep emotions out of the decision making process. I felt this allowed me the confidence to make good, fair, clear decisions based on her advise even while I was an absolute mess. She was honest with me about what was worth fighting for and what was a waist of time. She understands the process and is confident in her abilities and this shows. I had such low self esteem at this point and really felt as though I would never recover and yet, Oona had a away of making me have just enough confidence to at least stand up for myself and my kids. Although my divorce was at the time heartbreaking to me, somehow with Oona's help I stood up for myself. I feel to this day that this was the best thing I have ever done!

Oona Kingston

Oona is overall an amazing attorney. I feel she is completely trustworthy and I feel I can speak to her about any matter pertaining to my case. Her responsiveness via email or telephone is phenomenally quick and she works very hard to make you feel taken care of. She is extremely knowledgeable in he...r profession and her intelligence regarding every question I have is comforting and detailed. Oona is always keeping me informed regarding what the next step is and what the process is so I do not feel lost or anxious. Oona is truly a wonderful attorney who cares about her clients and works extremely hard. I would recommend her to anyone because my experience working with her has been amazing emotionally and professionally. Fantastic!
